Abstract

Its focus is the subset formed by the last seven pieces of the group, and that is justified by the fact that they show a particular affiliation, the ascending leap of sixth preceded by different forms of emphasis. The theoretical basis adopted is an adaptation of Dahlhaus’ concept of subthematicism, which supports the methodological procedure: the analytical approach. The results show connections based not only on harmonic phenomena, but also on the recurrence of flexible materials that are object of transformations. Hence, it is possible to substantiate the cohesion of the selected pieces and the relevance of the integration processes in Liszt’s volume.
